is that something that is going to be planned eventually or is it not going to come at all i'm just curious and yes i might post this a few times every few months because i might forget also are the globs in use yet or no not yet

I think there will be plants spells. I hope so, because it would be a shame if we had trees and no way to manipulate them at all. Might be low in the priority list, though ^^The globs are not yet in the game

Plant control is, last I heard, a planned feature, but it won't necessarily be direct plant control. Currently the grass we have is dynamically generated based on a variety of climate aspects, and there has been talk of doing something similar with larger plants, though I'm not sure where that stands right now. At the very least, we should eventually be able to light trees on fire, but the systems for that have not yet been implemented.

This is just a guess on my part, but I suspect plant life will eventually be one of the determining factors for some kinds of creatures that we'll see later on as Multiplayer stabilizes and the developers shift their focus towards life. They talked back in Alpha (and a few times since as well) about making plant life grow over time, instead of simply spawning fully grown as it does now, in which case I suspect we will see the ability to plant young plants, even if we can't spawn fully grown ones.

for example would there be a starter spell where you can at least make a permanent garden or at least make the plants permanent in general if the user would want that

We currently have a way of foliage dynamically appearing in the world but it's pretty rudimentary and needs to be balanced substantially.

Plants and a better system around trees are definitely planned features, but for the time being they're lower priority to some other features.

I would love to have really cool gardens, but right now I can't promise much on how intricate that system will end up being.

Sorry if that's a bit of an unsatisfactory answer! Right now we're super focused on finishing up multiplayer and creatures, but we'll be coming back to all that stuff. Hopefully we can have a better answer soon!

Also, globs are not in the released builds yet -- we're finishing that up right now and hope to have that out in the coming weeks!
